Seasoned broadcaster Sizwe Dhlomo is at it again. The Kaya FM radio host renewed his attacks on Floyd Shivambu, the founding leader of the Afrika Mayibuye Movement, following the announcement of a Fundraising Gala Dinner.
On Friday, 14 November 2025, the Afrika Mayibuye Movement announced a fundraising gala dinner, scheduled for 28 November 2025 at the Mhulu Boutique Hotel. The political party announced that top-tier tables would cost up to R2 million for a seat next to Floyd Shivambu.
Sizwe Dhlomo criticises Floyd Shivambu over gala dinner prices
Taking to his X (Twitter) account following the announcement, Sizwe Dhlomo mocked Floyd Shivambu for setting the price of R2 million to sit with him at his Fundraising Gala Dinner.
In his post, Dhlomo suggested that the price was unrealistic. He mocked Floyd Shivambu’s popularity with an example of how people don’t engage with his posts on social media, which only costs data, yet he is expecting people to shell out millions for a seat next to him.
The post was captioned:
“Floyd really thinks people are going to pay R2 million to sit with him? Lol! Bro, people don’t even comment on your posts and that just costs data!”

SA reacts as Sizwe Dhlomo roasts Floyd Shivambu over gala prices
Social media users expressed mixed reactions in the comments section. While some agreed with Sizwe Dhlomo, others defended Floyd Shivambu. Others made unsubstantiated claims, while some joked that influencer Grace Mondlana’s end-of-year party had inspired Shivambu.
Here are some of the comments:
@Mbhape1 claimed:
“Bro, you must understand the trick, more than R10m will be paid…. Money is already there… It needs a clean process to get into General Ledger🤣🤣🤣”
@KhotsiALutendo shared:
“I thought doing these things needed one to have some form of social standing. I didn’t know we could all wake up, organise a dinner and charge R2 million for a table reservation. Guess he is inspired by that lady who was charging her guests R300 for a Savana last week.”
@risimatimax claimed:
“I will pay that amount to sit next to an intelligent politician like him. I am actually going to be there.”
@irvin_stunna joked:
“Sometimes you have to fake it till you make it 😂”
@PrayerTmos claimed:
“He's gonna have to pay people to pretend they paid him.”
@Bizlifestyle4 joked:
“Lol, Thabo Bester made people sing for him while he was in prison. Anything is possible in this country.”
